I love doing a french braid ponytail because it allows me to do a braid and still show the length of my hair.
CP nos.8846 & 5019 are approaching the Braid St. crossing in New West with a coal train headed for N Van.
I never got the name of this lovely lady, as her family, when interviewed, couldn't even count the number of kids they had. The lady in charge just looked up from the baby she was nursing, surprised at my question, and looked around her at the heaps and heaps of babies and young, dusty boys and then looked at me and shook her head.
Naming them all would have taken all day and a lot of effort.
This girl has beautiful braids, though, so now she is braid-girl. And a pretty necklace, partly made out of ancient pearls, which the Tamashek absolutely love. You can also see a pretty typical leather tent in the background. They color the leather red by rubbing ochre rocks against it, and the same rocks can incidentally be used as make-up, too! I was told that women color the skin under their eyes red when they menstruate. Sort of a "keep away" message, I suppose.
This girl's family are truly semi-sedentarized nomads, if that makes any sense to anyone. They spend most of the year in the town of Menaka (poor goats!), and move to walking distance outside of town during the cold season.

And I've come to know the wish list of my father
I've come to know the shipwrecks where he's been
I've come to wish allow
Among the overdressed crowd
Come to witness now the sinking of this ship
Throwing pennies from the sea top next to it
And I've come to roam the forest
Past the village
With a dozen lazy horses in my cart
I've come here to get high
To do more than just get by
I've come to test the timber of my heart
Oh I've come to test the timber of my heart
And I've come
To be untroubled in my seeking
And I've come
To see that nothing is for not
I've come to reach out blind
To reach forward and behind
For the more I seek
The more I'm sought
Yea the more I seek
The more I'm sought
And I've come to meet the sheriff
And his posse
To offer him the broad side of my jaw
I've come here to get broke
And maybe bum a smoke
We'll go drinking two towns over after all
Oh we'll go drinking two towns over after all
And I've come to meet the legendary takers
I've only come to ask them for a lot
Aw they say I come with less
Than I should rightfully possess
I say: The more I buy
The more I'm bought
And the more I'm bought
The less I cost
And I've come
To take their servants and their surplus
And I've come
To take their rain coats and their speed
I've come to get my fill
To ransack and spill
I've come to take the harvest for the seed
I've come to take the harvest for the seed
And I've come to know the manger you sleep in
I've come to be the stranger that you keep
I've come from down the road
And my footsteps never slowed
Before we met I knew we'd meet
Before we met I knew we'd meet
And I've come here to ignore you cries and heartaches
I've come to closely listen to you sing
I've come here to insist
That I leave here with a kiss
I've come to say exactly what I mean
And I mean so many things
And you've come
To know me stubborn as a bitcher
And you've come
To know me thankless as a guest
But will you recognize my face
When god's awful grace
Strips me of my jacket and my vest
And reveals all the treasure in my chest.
my favorite song. period.
To achieve this elegant and dramatic braided style, follow the steps below:
First shampoo hair with MIZANI Botanifying Shampoo which is great for cleansing but gentle enough to use every day as it cleanses the hair and scalp while restoring a natural moisture balance. Then rinse and gently towel blot dry before applying MIZANI Moisturfuse Conditioner which has natural oils and botanical ingredients that deeply moisturise dry hair.
Once the hair has been thoroughly rinsed and towel dried apply MIZANI Thermastrength Style Serum to the hair section by section. Thermastrength Style Serum is a botanically enriched, heat activated serum that protects from heat and helps improve the hair’s tensile strength. So it is great for blowdrying hair straight or using with thermal straighteners. Once the hair has been blow dried straight, secure it in a ponytail at the crown of the head with a band. It’s always best to use a smooth band to reduce breakage. Now apply MIZANI Shimmer Reflects Gel to the length of the ponytail before braiding it. Shimmer Reflects Gel is an alcohol free, medium hold gel that gives a non flaking hold which is essential to achieving this style. Then wrap the braid around the head securing to the head with grips. The longer your hair, the more bends and swirls you can create with the braid. Adding extensions is a great way of immediately creating extra length and therefore more dramatic effect. To finish, mist the style with MIZANI Shimmer Reflects Spritz. The gold mica in the product creates a great natural shine.’
July 8, 2007. Fatimata comes from Eastern Burkina Faso, but has traveled to the capital, Ouagadougou, to visit relatives. She takes the opportunity of a brief respite from cooking and laundry to get her hair braided.

I have a thing for them. I just love them!. She never lets me braid her hair, but today she was excited because we were going Ice-Skating, so I talked her into it hehe. I'm pretty proud of the result, considering she kept moving while I was making them.
Not sure about this pic, but I have a weakness for back portratis and braids so yeah, I decided to upload it.

Milkmaid braids have been an obsession of mine for quite some time and I'm so happy to be able to put my hair up in them! yay! The kanzashi headband was made by my darling friend Fee at www.peachypan.com
Chotlo, I really love some of the french braids that are in your photo stream. Some of the braids on Flickr look like works of art. I wish I could braid something more than a french or dutch braid...
Here I cropped out most of the white. I also rotated it so the braid was up. Thanks again, Crow!

A poster for the famous 1960s musical, Braids.
Braids is the story of four sisters who are in the army.
Bloodthirsty to the core, they love nothing better than a full on charge with bayonets, much shouting and the simple pleasures of military drill at dawn.
Of course, such an idyllic existence can't last, and demobilisation soon rears its ugly head.
As the film ends, the sisters are hurled into a peacetime nightmare, where all they can do each day is hang about looking soppy in trees and braiding each other's hair.
All this with a set of songs unparalleled at the time, including the catchy "This is the yawning of the way of the Erebus", and "Earth".
261 photos merged into one image. I like how the clouds seem to weave in and out of each other. I haven't been getting out much for timelapse photography lately. I still have the urge, so I've got a ton of timelapses with this view, from my back yard. I've just finished my antibiotics and I'm finally getting over a nasty bout of pneumonia. It's 'funny' all the 'little' things we take for granted every day. It's good to breathe easy!!! (or at least be close to it again)
